This coin is the seventh coin in the series, and it portrays the Yale of Beaufort, a mythical creature abut the size of a hippo.

What makes this series unique is that each coins weighs 2 troy ounces, or 62.2 grams.

The background for this range comes from the coronation of Her Majesty The Queen, where ten heraldic beasts stood guard, The Queen’s Beasts, sculpted by James Woodford RA for the coronation ceremony.

The coins will each depict one of the The Queen’s Beasts, reimagined by Royal Mint Coin Designer Jody Clark. Jody also created the latest definitive coinage portrait of The Queen to appear on United Kingdom coins. His bold interpretations of the Lion of England will be the first coin to be released.

On the reverse, The Black Bull (a “Yorkist” beast). The bull is a strong symbol of pride and patriotism. Engravings on this face identify the animal represented in the series, as well as the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, and year of issue.

The obverse side of the coin bears the latest depiction of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. The Queen’s portrait is accompanied by engravings of her name and the face value in Pound Sterling. This represents the fifth iteration of Her Majesty’s portrait to appear on UK coinage since 1952.
